<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quick dog, post: 88328, member: 4093&quot;]Simple economics no longer dictates the success of some businesses in this State.&nbsp; One aggressive little old lady in tennis shoes with a Sierra Club backpack can stop almost any prospective industrial project.&nbsp; There have been hundreds of essential mining operations shut-down in California as a result of the concerted efforts of environmental political action committees (PACs), State and federal bureaucracies, pandering politicians, and &quot;concerned&quot; urban citizens.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion, from the inside, there has been, and still, is a well-oiled conspiracy to alter the industrial landscape of California.&nbsp; At times, the effort to shut down mines and quarries has involved unpunished criminal conspiracies.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coordinated environomental juggernaut began in about 1970.&nbsp; It behaves like a huge glacier.&nbsp; It moves forward, rests, than continues forward.&nbsp; Even a $25,000,000,000 State government deficit has not changed the momentum of the environmetal movement.&nbsp; It will be interesting to see how long California can sustain horrific deficits and maintain the worst bond-rating in the United States without economic collapse.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
